In year 12 psych we had a social experiment to see how susceptible people were to peer pressure. So we had to introduce a not oft used term/word in our social group and see if it took off. My word was "dingo". It worked! Every derogatory term for a few weeks later was dingo (took my baby) SHAZBOT!

We have satellite here, but only the roommate watches it. The final straw was when I tried to watch "Catfish" on MTV. It had a 40 minute runtime, in a 70 minute timeslot. Thirty minutes of ads, and I gotta pay for that? Hell no!

Plus, gold ol' rabbit-ears TV is so much better. I get like 25 channels, stuff like PBS and channels that run old shows (with 10 minutes of ads, not 30!).

Was cable/satellite free for 2 years and loved it! Moved and it was cheaper to add cable to the internet than to pay for internet on it's own. Silly. For $50 I have internet, home phone and cable. If I did only internet it would be $55

I have DirecTV, but just bought daughter a ROKU for her room (refuse to pay for another box)I'm using it as an experiment if I can cut the cord (trash the dish?). I already have Netflix that she can stream and the other channels are not too expensive..seeing if there is a cost savings. I beat up DTV all the time on pricing so my bill is only $62 a month for DVR and 2 other boxes. My prob is that antenna doesn't get all the channels where I live in the sticks

Lurker, I just beat up DTV to move my plan to $40 and then they said I would get a free DVR only to find out there were monthly fees (bitch that ain't free in my book) and $20 shipping. The whole idea was to spend less money not more. I may beat them up some more later though.

Looking into Roku now but I have Xfinity for internet and it's in and out constantly. Where I live I amazingly fall into -not commercial, not residential twilight zone for Comcast.

On late-nite TV I keep seeing a commercial for this revolutionary product that allows you to pick up hi-def, digital broadcast television for FREE. They've even made a half-hour infomercial for this astounding invention.

I'm a tv addict so we have Comcast and every channel. I hate Comcast but I hated Dish even more. Unfortunately my man works for a competing company and we would be able to get a huge discount but it is not offered in our area yet. I really hate Comcast but I hate not having cable even more so I'm stuck.

I love the football ticket on DirectTV. We used to always get the AZ Cardinals on cable. I don't care what it cost and in nearly ten years my dusk only went screwy once for a short time when it rained really hard.

I have Time Warner Cable and HATE it. I've tried to get a better deal and they aren't interested in customer loyalty. So, I'm slowly working on cutting the cord. I just got a Roku and have Amazon Prime and Netflix. I plan to keep internet and one box for basic programming.

Pulled the cord a long time ago, and my bank account thanks me. I use the computer for the stuff I want to see and my antenna works great with a dvr recorder with tuner by Magnaovox if I must record something.

Just bunny ears, best move ever. We get ABC, NBC, CBS, some random inspiration channel and some shopping channel. Would totally still have cable if they didn't want to charge over 100 bucks a month, we just cannot justify that. Plus, I hate paying for all the channels I will never watch.

I got rid of satellite three years ago. We go Netflix/Hulu/Amazon and I have rabbit ears so I can watch football and CBS This Morning (which is the best morning show, hands-down. The things I'd do to Norah O'Donnell…)

On a similar question from a few years ago, I had mentioned that we just ued Hulu and over-the-air broadcasts. Since then, we have worked out a deal with our neighbors to share their satellite while they share our internet. I still watch more Online TV than satellite, but it is sometimes nice to have TV on in the background. We are just lucky out ISP doesn't have data usage limits.
